To this day I don't understand how 1960s GI Joe survived with no enemies to fight. To me, that's what makes him a doll. You dress him up and put an accessory in his hand, pose him, maybe put him in a vehicle, but then what's he actually doing? He has no reason to exist. I know they tried to fix this later on in the 70s, but by then it was too little too late, and by that point, he was just a kung fu Ken doll.

Well I absolutely love Cobra as villains. I am by no means supportive of terrorist organizations.

I'm going with Joes. I prefer a more grounded, realistic look, and the Joes were closer to that than Cobra was. Especially in the later years, the Cobras got to cartoonish for my tastes

The Joes all the way. I am all about the OG13 era when Cobra was seriously portrayed as a foreign fascist criminal organization. Cobra Commander and the Baroness were both murderous sociopaths and serious menaces to human society. Those first 24 issues were the best for me along with the Special Missions series.
As soon as Zartan, the Dreadnoks, Serpentor and all those other weirdos showed up, they practically took over the franchise. And then there were the ninjas. I had quickly given up on both the comic and toy line by 1986. But I stayed aboard because realistic, military Joes were being introduced all the time: Doc. Recondo. Ripcord. Dusty. Outback. Hit & Run. These are the characters that still drive my interest to this day. And Clutch remains my favorite Joe of all time.

I picked COBRA, which is a bit odd since I find myself liking things a bit more grounded, and it seems like Joe is based more in reality. On the COBRA side, I love the idea of the secret, underground organization being out there, but then I also love the absurdist humor of thinking about the COBRA healthcare benefits, retirement plans, pay and what kind of schedule they work.

But if I had to choose, I'd go with Cobra. It's the old adage, a hero is only as good as their villain. I'll say this: In some imaginary scenario where the rights to Joe and Cobra got split up, and both were rebooted to fight against brand new enemies, I'd be a lot more interested in the Cobra reboot. |

I have to say Yo Joe!
While Cobra has their own fun assortment of nutjobs, a lot of their ranks are comprised of troops. I love the diversity and wide range of personalities of the Joes. When I was a kid a huge part of the fun was picking the right team of Joes for the mission. |
